    Chuck Roll or Brisket

    I will use rolls when I'm cooking for a large group or if I'm vending. Weight loss is during the cook is less than brisket. Has good beef flavor and is forgiving during the cook. I'm with Kevin, the point on a brisket is the best eating. Jim

    Marinate Brisket or not?

    Most marinades for brisket are used as a mop during the cook or when foiling brisket it is added at that point and goes back on the cooker. Marinating before cooking doesn't do much, injecting would be a better choice. Jim

    how many rack of ribs

    Depends on the age of the kids and how many are male. If they are teens you need to figure they can eat a 1/2 rack. I would say 5 to 6 racks, just consider who is coming and the Super Bowl lasts all day. Hawks!! Jim

    New Kingsford Sucks!

    MikeJ I find DuraFlame has the same kind of heat and time as Kingsford. The fact it has less ash is a plus. Jim

    Prime Brisket Cook Revisited

    Joe Good to see that you find the same results we get, always nice when a plan comes together. Kirk Try to find some DuraFlame or Royal Oak briquets, I think you will like the results, you will be able to maintain pit temps and lenght of burns like you got with Kingsford. Jim

    New Kingsford Sucks!

    Because they are ready sooner your cooking time is longer, sounds like a sales pitch. They have not taken into consideration how we use their product so we will have to find other brands to do the job. DurFlame is sending me 40 bags of briquets and 15 lump for comepititons. I will be talking...

    cooking prime briskets

    Joey I have been cooking Primes and Kobes now for two years, I had a conversation with Adam Perry Lang at the Royal this year about what temps to cook these critters, we agree on pit temps. I find lower temps 190 to 210 better than higher temps. There is much less connective tissue than you find...

    Brisket HELP!!

    Mark Connective tissue needs time to breakdown, when cooking 10 pound plus briskets time can be used as a guide but when you cook a 2 or 3 pound brisket, time can not be used as a guide at all. The internal in a finished brisket will be in a range from mid 180s plus (depends on cooking method...
